“…The average electrospun nano bers diameters were of 300.94 ± 57.19 nm, 318.56 ± 80.96 nm, 335 ± 58.24, and nm for CA17, CA18, CA19 and CA20, respectively. The ndings are in agreement with the study conducted by Chumpol and Siri (2016), in which the electrospun CA nano ber produced were in the diameter range of 367.6 − 458.0 nm. Previous research has revealed that ber diameter increases with increase polymer concentration (Ryu et al 2003;Kong and Ziegler, 2014).…”

As one of the world's most abundant biomass, lignocellulosic materials such as rice husk (RH) has been recognized for its various potential usages. Electrospun nano brous mats have been fabri-cated from various natural and synthetic polymers and offers a wide range of promising criteria suitable for wound dressing applications. Natural polymers have grabbed considerable attention due to their desirable properties. Therefore, the application of cellulose-derived materials from agricultural waste becomes crucial as a green alternative to produce electrospun wound dressing with excellent wettability, porosity and tunability to promote wound healing at relatively low costs. Interestingly, a speci c study on the utilization of cellulose extracted from RH to produce electrospun nano brous mat remains unreported.Therefore, this work aimed to investigate the feasibility of using RH as a source of raw materials to create nano brous mats for use as pro-spective wound dressing materials. In this paper, cellulose extracted from RH will be converted into its derivate, cellulose acetate (CA) and electrospun. The nano ber will be characterized by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Attenuated Total Re ectance-Fourier transform spectros-copy (ATR-FTIR), water contact angle to evaluate the main properties of the electrospun nanobrous mat.

“…Moreover, electrospun cellulose acetate membrane was used as an alternative carrier for separation of crude extracts by electrophoresis. By controlling the porosity and pore size of membrane, it was used as a simple technical advantage for separation of high molecular weight and near molecular weight polysaccharides [43].…”

: Aloe vera is a medicinal plant species of the genus Aloe with a long history of usage around the world. Acemannan, considered one of the main bioactive polysaccharides of Aloe vera, possesses immunoregulation, anti-cancer, anti-oxidation, wound healing and bone proliferation promotion, neuroprotection, and intestinal health promotion activities, among others. In this review, recent advancements in the extraction, purification, structural characteristics and biological activities of acemannan from Aloe vera were summarized. Among these advancements, the structural characteristics of purified polysaccharides were reviewed in detail. Meanwhile, the biological activities of acemannan from Aloe vera determined by in vivo, in vitro and clinical experiments are summarized, and possible mechanisms of these bioactivities were discussed. Moreover, the latest research progress on the use of acemannan in dentistry and wound healing was also summarized in details. The structure-activity relationships of acemannan and its medical applications were discussed. Finally, new perspectives for future research work on acemannan were proposed. In conclusion, this review summarizes the extraction, purification, structural characteristics, biological activities and pharmacological applications of acemannan, and provides information for the industrial production and possible applications in dentistry and wound healing in the future.

Immigrants from the Dominican Republic (DR) and Haiti are among the top foreign-born communities in New York City (NYC). As people migrate to new countries, they bring their ethnomedical beliefs and practices, and adapt their plant pharmacopoeias. Haiti and the DR share a flora on the island of Hispaniola. In NYC, the flora is limited to what is available in the city. We selected plants for future laboratory research based on ethnobotanical data from two surveys among Dominicans in the DR and NYC, and a Haitian literature review. In both Dominican datasets, gynecological infections were the top women's health condition treated with plants. We identified 10 species for this purpose reported by Dominicans that are also known medicines in Haitian culture, although not yet documented for women's health. Plants for gynecological infections potentially cause dysbiosis of the vaginal microbiota, and may increase rather than prevent disease. There is a public health need to assess traditional medicines for their ability to inhibit pathogenic bacteria, while causing minimal disruption to the vaginal flora. Several species are known antibacterials, but remain to be tested for their efficacy. These results also provide a foundation for a planned ethnobotanical survey among NYC Haitian women.
